    I certainly won't lie: the temptation to bot on my main was, and still is, overwhelming ever since I was an 11-year-old skipping homework and studying to "play" RuneScape (sit at a screen and alch for 5 hours or WC yews in the Gnome Stronghold for just as long). I've come close to downloading Powerbot like a few of my friends in school did, but here's the rub: *everyone* I know IRL who botted, and whether it was their main or an alt, those accounts got *banned.* I am quite literally the *only* person in my *entire* circle of friends (IRL and online) who still has the original account he made when he was a fucking preteen.
    That's a SOBERING fucking realisation to have. Imagine all those years of progress flushed down the drain because you were too lazy to git gud.
    It's a pretty fucking strong deterrent to an intrepid preteen turned teenager turned adult when you know damn well just how many people got banned for botting, how fucking stupid the shit they got banned for was, and how attached I am to my main from 2007 that I have damn near max stats on after like what, 17 years of playing?

      I get the same feeling especially after watching a few botting to max series on youtube. they lasted for quite some time but they were no lifing the bots so im like hey. if i was to bot and keep it reasonable and not run it 24/7 i might get away with it and seems to be more secure in terms of bot detection since the scripts are being ran in the cloud vs injected. kinda like osrs runelite bots have lower ban detection vs injected bots like dreambot etc. That said i never went with it i spent too much time on my main to risk it again since i had a macro ban(major) ~ a decade ago. i forgot what bot it was but i only used it for a few hours and got slammed lol it was bad. that got appealed. too paranoid to even make a new account on a different computer with its own ip and stuff i don't want any potential crosslap at all. so we are staying legit!

    @SkyVoidify 11 днів тому

    I used to bot when I was younger, never to the extent some people do. However, as I got older I noticed I'd quit playing for a long time quickly after using bots. This was because I was taking the fun out of the game. There's no sense of reward if you achieve a goal through botting, so it actually damages your experience as a player. What really solidified this belief for me was when I made my ironman at the mining/smithing rework. And if you gave a brand new player an account with a comp cape, they wouldn't know what to do or understand the time/effort it took to get there. Unfortunately, it's impossible for Jagex to get rid of all bots. Botting basically just turns any game into an idle game.

    I think Jagex should provide an additional automation skill in the game that can compete with these bots in some capacities. Or more afk ways to gather these resources without it being just a grind/time tax.
    If someone wants to have a machine supply the GE with resources nobody gives a shit to collect anymore then I'm fine with it. Makes it easier for me to get the supplies I want.
    I think boss botting is excessive, I get that the goal is farming for gold/rwt. I'm fine if that stays against the rules. But I am curious how GE equipment prices would change if boss afking was more accessible.
    But the economy already lacks so many items in the GE having a regular supply, and if we can't get new players to help build that supply then let the bots do it so I can get my supplies when I'm playing rather than having to wait for it to settle overnight.

    Bots are needed to maintain rs3 economy and there aint a thing jagex can do about it tbh...
    Who do you think makes supplies cheap?
    Its that or jagex directly selling items
    Although ofc they make bonds prices high due to demand, which is bad...
    I used to have a botfarm a few years ago(50-60 accs), just realised its more worth my time actually working and buying bonds to fund my main anyway...
    I do not know which software they are selling/negotiating in particular in rs3 and what im saying is from experience on 2018-2021 id say. Things might have changed, couldnt tell but from what Ive seen in the video its almost the same as it was back then

    The unfortunate truth is that bots make Jagex money, so getting rid of them isn't in their best financial interest. However as most likely use bonds for membership, there is an argument that they are not making as much money off from them because that is less membership fees in their pockets and if in game bond prices are high, they sell less bonds too as players need to buy less to get to their GP goals

    Last time we went through a bot nuke the years following it I remember every player you came across (hard to do in some non-US/UK worlds post-nuke) was thinking that the game and Jagex was going to go bust... I remember simple ingredients/buyables just jumping in price overnight because bots weren't there to fish sharks, chop logs etc.. The bot nuke sort of made RS3 shit, only worked to stroke the egos of those who wanted to 'preserve their achievements', the Elite in RS3 who are rich anyway (rares merchers etc) so they can buy their way into end game content no matter what. And we're back here again, relatively the same spot we were before the bot nuke where we're unsure if half the population of RS3 is real or bots..
    In my opinion, to keep the game good and make it appear like it's not a dying MMORPG, which causes more people to jump ship, we must learn to live with an equilibrium of bots in RS3. Plus, they make some shit crazy cheap in the GE, really good for low level players with little gp.

    But in reality, Jagex needs them...
    Bots allow the owner to farm items,
    Items = $$$
    $$$ in-game being sold to RWT sites,
    Sellers sell GP,
    Players buy GP,
    Jagex "catches/ bans" buyers,
    While the merchants get richer by manipulating items & prices,
    The economy is then "stabilised,"
    And the cycle repeats.

I can’t justify spending 140m on a single bond for membership anymore, if all I’m going to ever do in my few hours of playtime is just making gp back to finance the bond.
    And I can’t justify spending real life money on it either because I’m really just not getting a lot of playtime out of it.

    Pretty sure Jagex came out and said that they don't care if you bot to an extent. This was the statement I'm referring to.
    "The main focus within the game is to make sure the excesses of bots are policed and managed. Flagged accounts are managed out of the game, and
    therefore what is left inside the game is a sort of equilibrium of players and bots... if I have [three accounts] there's a good chance that one of them is me and two accounts are bots... If a player is sufficiently committed to pay for three accounts, and have an account and two bots as part of its ecosystem, then so be it."
    Yes they ban bots, mostly bot armies. Not really targeting some guy doing crafting in portables world just trying to get 120. I can't even count how many bots I've seen in Ascension Dungeon with 200m range-def-hp. Those guys run forever. Imagine the price of keys if bots aren't there to farm them

    The reason you need to disable anticheat is because cheat software interacts with the game in the same way some malware does (using techniques such as code injection or methods to evade detection by the runescape client). It doesn't mean they are doing shady things, and to be honest you don't need to be a genius to write malware that doesn't get detected by AV software anyway.

    • @checker297

      lol if you think that I have a bridge to sell you. AV is pretty damn good these days and mostly you will exclude stuff for performance based reasons ie might get file locks on network based shares, but a bot client has no reason for this. If a bot client cant operate without it, it is doing something shady, or having the ability to do stuff which is shady

      ​@@checker297 of course it has the *ability* to do something shady. most the shit running on your pc does.
      injection + read/write memory + function hooking/calling. all the same things malware uses as well as every cheat ever created barring simple macros/pixel bots.
      a bot client cant operate without it because its the core concept of how most bots(or even non bot cheats) except pixel bots work.
      i cant tell you how many times ive made a bot/hack for a game and it gets flagged one compile, but not another. particularly defender. defender is awful, constantly flags my own stuff, or stuff that is open source (example: cheat engine) knowing damn well its fine. this is the one that theyre probably wanting you to disable for that exact reason. an actual antimalware/antivirus false flags these types of programs far less then defender.

      @@checker297 No, AV will frequently block software based on heuristics which include age, how common software is and what API calls it does. A lot of cheat software is also obfuscated to prevent people from cracking it or to prevent anti-cheat creators from learning how it works, which has a very high false-positive rate with AVs. I've seen it block legitimate software plenty of times, including my own stuff as I compile it.
